What with all the drama of being ruthlessly plaigiarised and then getting in trouble with the law, I totally forgot to tell you about the latest additions to the McNaught-Miaoulis Menagerie. It is like a ZOO in here, people. Like a zoo, I tells ya. See, the in-laws have gone off to Greece for five weeks (no, not jealous at all…), giving Terry and I temporary custody of their pets, almost as if we were responsible adults. Without further ado then, people, please welcome…

George the Tortoise!

Pepe the Parrot!

Not forgetting, of course…

Rubin the Wolf!

Special talent: peeing on the washing machineLikes: being the centre of attention at all timesHates: Pepe and George. As soon as he saw them he was all, "I’m blogging this". So he did.
